Did you use the RECOVER keyword when validating the database? Make sure you have backups of the tables. When you use RECOVER, it might delete files. Also, if you used any DBC functionality like long column names, that info will get lost when you FREE the table and you will have to add that back after ADDing the table back to the DBC.
You might also want to look into write caching, SMB2 & oplocks settings for the original SMB protocol as they can have an effect on the integrity of file based databases like VFP. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of James E Harvey Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 11:25 AM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: RE: Cannot resolve backlink I'm starting to see all kinds of crazy behavior with the database. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with using VMware and Win 2008R2? I open the database, validate, get error messages, remove the table, add it back in, validate, and it looks okay. Try to run the program and get the backlink error again... James E Harvey Corresponding Officer/M.I.S.
